Pilot in Clipper Crash Is ISTANBUL, Turkey, 31 -The pilot of the Pan American clipper Eclipse, in which 14 persons perished Thursday, guided the big Constellation in for perfect crash landing although the left wing was ablaze and two en• gines were dead, a survivor said today. The account of the crash in eastern Syrian desert sands was given by Capt. Michael Graham, 25, of London, himself a pilot, who was riding as a passenger in the illfated plane. Graham said the pilot made smooth approach and landing but that apparently a port engine dug into the ground, thus causing the plane to groundloop violently and break in two in mass of flames. One engine had been jettisoned before the landing, he said, and the propeller of another had been feathered.
